You Came A Long Way From St. Louis

You came a long way from St. Louis, you climbed the ladder of success,

I've seen the town and country cars that were parked

out in front of your fancy address.

You came a long way from St. Louis, you broke a lotta hearts between,

I've seen a gang of gloomy gals who were doing alright

till you came on the scene.



You came here from the middle west,

and certainly impressed the population hereabouts.

Well, baby, I got news for you, I'm from Missouri too.

So naturally I got my doubts, you got 'em dropping by the wayside,

A feeling I ain't gonna know.

You came a long way from St.

Louis, but baby, you still got a long way to go.
